Kellyanne Conway goes full Islamophobe rather than discuss immigration on Meet the Press

During an appearance on “Meet the Press” Sunday, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway decided she’d attack a Muslim member of Congress instead of try to explain President Donald Trump’s ever shifting plans and policies on the issue of immigration.
